Globe Makes Global Mark on TIME’s | Companies List

Did you know that a homegrown Filipino company has just made it to the list of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies for 2025?

Yes, that’s right. Globe Telecom has earned a place on TIME Magazine and Statista’s prestigious list, and even more impressively—it’s the only telecommunications company from the Philippines to do so. This isn’t just a corporate milestone. It’s a win for Filipino innovation, environmental responsibility, and our shared future.

Let’s unpack what this means for Globe, for the country, and—most importantly—for you.

What the Recognition Means

Being included in TIME and Statista’s list isn’t just about good PR. It’s about proving with facts and numbers that a company is genuinely walking the talk when it comes to sustainability.

The ranking assessed over 5,700 companies worldwide and filtered out those failing in sustainability. Only the top 500 made the cut. Globe stood out for its impressive performance across more than 20 key indicators, including:

• Environmental impact
• Transparency and reporting
• Governance and ethical practices
• Social responsibility
• Inclusion and employee well-being

This isn’t just a gold star. It’s a serious, data-driven recognition that Globe is leading the way in transforming business for the better.

A Company That Puts Purpose into Practice

For Globe, this global spotlight is the result of years of planning, innovation, and action rooted in one core belief: sustainability is essential to business success.

According to Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz, this honor isn’t just about recognition—it reflects the company’s deeper purpose.

“At the heart of our business is our customer. We create meaningful impact for them, our value chain, and the communities we serve,” Cruz said.

That’s a strong statement—but Globe has the results to back it up.

Environment First: Real Action, Not Just Promises

Sustainability in business can often sound like vague buzzwords. But Globe’s environmental progress is tangible and measurable.

• Net Zero by 2050: Globe has committed to a verified, science-based target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
• 24% renewable energy use in 2024: Nearly a quarter of Globe’s electricity already comes from clean sources, and more than 150 additional sites are set to be powered by renewables in the coming years.
• 38,000+ green solutions deployed: These include energy-efficient network infrastructure, the use of cleaner fuels, and smarter consumption of electricity and fuel.
• ISO-certified health and safety systems: Globe doesn’t just protect the planet—it also ensures its employees and communities are safe through globally recognized safety practices.

This means that every time you stream a movie, make a call, or run your online business with Globe, you’re supporting a network that’s becoming greener and more sustainable with every passing year.

Sustainability Is in the Details

Beyond the big goals, Globe is committed to transparency and accountability. Its annual Integrated Report is third-party assured and aligned with global sustainability reporting standards. That includes verification of its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions—a comprehensive look at the company’s entire carbon footprint, from direct operations to supply chain impacts.

Why does this matter?

Because sustainability isn’t just about planting trees or switching off lights. It’s about understanding where impact comes from—and taking real steps to reduce it.

Social Responsibility: More Than an Add-on

While Globe’s environmental initiatives are front and center, its commitment to people and communities is just as strong.

Here are some highlights of Globe’s social impact efforts:

• Diversity and Inclusion: Globe’s workforce is made up of 44% women, and the company offers same-sex benefits to promote equality and inclusivity.
• Safe and Empowered Workforce: Globe’s occupational health system is certified under ISO 45001:2018, ensuring high safety standards across the organization.
• Education and Connectivity: Through its digital inclusion programs, Globe supports learning and livelihood in underserved communities.

Whether it’s an inclusive workplace or empowering students in far-flung towns with internet access, Globe is walking hand-in-hand with the people it serves.

Making Purpose Profitable

Let’s face it: many companies still struggle with the idea that doing good and making money can go together.

Globe, however, is proving that profit and purpose don’t have to be opposites. In fact, they can reinforce each other.

Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, summed it up beautifully:

“Being part of this esteemed global list reflects our progress—but more importantly, our purpose. We remain steadfast in driving inclusive growth at scale, doing business with integrity, and inspiring a more sustainable future for all.”

When a major telco like Globe makes sustainability a core strategy—not just a marketing campaign—it challenges other companies to follow suit.

How This Benefits You as a Globe User

Now you may be thinking: this is all great, but what does it have to do with me?

Here’s how it affects you directly:

• Cleaner energy means your digital lifestyle is contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
• Safer workplaces mean your service providers are treated well and protected.
• More inclusive practices mean you’re supporting a company that values equality and diversity.
• Transparent reporting gives you confidence that you’re with a telco that puts integrity first.

You’re not just a customer—you’re part of a sustainability ecosystem. Every peso you spend with Globe helps power a more responsible future.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Globe?

Globe isn’t stopping here. Its future goals include:

• Expanding the use of renewable energy across its entire network
• Introducing more green tech into operations
• Deepening its inclusion programs for gender, ability, and socioeconomic diversity
• Further reducing emissions across all scopes and suppliers

In other words, the work is far from done—but Globe is on the right track.

Final Thoughts: A Global Recognition for a Local Champion

This recognition from TIME and Statista isn’t just a feather in Globe’s cap—it’s a moment of pride for every Filipino.

It proves that we can compete on the global stage—not just in tech and telecom, but in values, vision, and leadership.

So the next time you receive a text, connect to your Wi-Fi, or load up your GCash app, remember this: you’re part of a network that’s being recognized around the world for building a better tomorrow.

And that’s something worth celebrating.
